!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Extra Information & Sometimes Corrections if Needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0:22 USA ended up signing separate peace treaties with the Central Powers due to the fact that the senate didn't ratify the Paris Peace treaties as it objected to the US involvement in the League of Nations and it saw not ratifying the peace treaties as an effective way of objecting to that. 1:22 Even though I say 8th of October in the video the formation of the council happened over the course of 3 days from 5th to 8th hence I put it in the video before the announcement of the formation of Poland on the 7th. 2:30 In this federal system exclaves of German speaking populations in the Empire like the ones in Romania or Hungary were suppose to have autonomy within their respective federal country. 5:02 Ok so I made a dumb mistake here, I sadly caught it too late to fix it. 28th of October after Czechs proclaimed their independence they also announced the formation of Czechoslovakia. However, this was announced a day later in newspapers like Pilsner Tagblatt, no.296 (29 October 1918) and so I accidentally put the announcement of Czechoslovakia on the 29th even though it happened a day prior. However, you could argue that Czechoslovakia didn't exist just yet as it was the 29th of October that the Slovaks meat in Martin with the intention of declaring independence and proclaiming unification with Czechia in to the state of Czechoslovakia which they did a day later on the 30th as I stated in the video. 6:34 Stjepan Radic was the only member to vote against sending a delegation to Serbia. He argued that even just sending a delegation would be a bad negotiating tactic with Serbia and that even before sending the delegation they should decide on how the new state is going to be governed and if that's not successful not join Serbia. So he technically wasn't against the unification like I said in the video. He was more of a realist ready to support the unification if the deal was good but if not than he argued it shouldn't happen. 6:43 The Banat Republic was only officially recognized by the Hungarian Republic and acted more of as a local autonomous council of the new Hungarian Republic rather than a state of its own. 7:09 2nd not 2sc but yeah sorry my grammar is terrible. 7:45 Villa Giusti Armistice Point 1.4 Armies of associated powers shall occupy such strategic points in AustriaHungary at such times as they may deem necessary to enable them to conduct military operations or to maintain order. Point 3.3 Special commissions will be selected by the commanders in chief of allied and associated armies on the various Austro-Hungarian fronts, which will immediately proceed, accompanied by the necessary escorts, to the places they regard as the most suitable from which to control the execution of the provisions established above. 8:42 Louis Franchet d'Espèrey the French commander in charge of the Belgrade negotiations was said to particularly cold to the Hungarian embassy. 11:00 Romania reenters the war on the 10th of November not 9th. 11:51 The allies actually had decided that the generals were not allowed to negotiate more than just military matters during the time the negotiations took place but decided not to tell the generals in Belgrade (or the Hungarians) that they can't do that until the armistice talks were concluded. It was never stated why. 12:22 It wasn't actually the entire Hungarian parliament who signed it but representatives of the parliament who acted on behalf of the Hungarian parliament. 12:50 The demarcation line in the south was as shown going through Pecs, however, the Yugoslav troops weren't actually allowed to occupy the border Hungarian cities like Pecs but they occupied such cities anyways. 13:50 The demarcation line in Slovakia will be pushed further into Hungary twice in the next two weeks and so will the Romanian line, however, I will talk about these demarcation line changes in my Trianon video. 14:10 The break away eastern part of the Lemko Rusyn Republic became known as the Komancza Republic. 15:35 Some extra information that didn't fit on the screen. -Ruthenia was disputed between the WUPR and Hungary, although Hungary was the one in control in the majority of the area. -Lemko Rusyn Republic was struggling to defend against Poland/Polish Liquidation Committee and it can be argued it never was able to become fully independent. -Slovak Demarcation zone at this point was set a bit north of the current Slovak/Hungarian border. -Austria also claimed Burgenland along with the Sudetenland but this was firmly controlled by Hungary until the Trianon peace treaty. I will talk further about all these new political entities and the events following January 1919 in the two follow up videos.

Austria-Hungary: "Herr Deutschland, I don't feel so good"

"yeah I think we did a good job stabilizing the balkans" -allies in 1918

turns out the real austria-hungary was the friends we made along the way.

Mr Germany I don't want to go

Boy, that escalated quickly.

hundreds of years of careful habsburg political maneuvering and tactful marriage, gone in a couple of months

Habsburg Family: *"Look How They MASSACRED MY BOY"*

Austria-Hungary is fascinating. Not merely a historical anachronism, but a deeply underappreciated part of European culture and history. At least in America.

"Herr Wilhelm, ich fühle mich nicht so gut" - Kaiser Karl, probably

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Franz Ferdinand probably

Girls: Why don't boys understand our signs? They're so simple! Their signs:

"What could go wrong in 20 years?"

This was outstanding. You even included Lemko-Rusyn Republic. What I mean by that, not even many people Know about Ukrainian Republic declaring independance after WW1, so Western Ukrainian Republic and Lemko-Rusyn one is like, barely known even in Eastern Europe.

Poland: "This is our territory! " Hungary: "This is our territory!" Romania: "This is our territory! " Czechoslovakia: "This is our territory! " Yugoslavia: "This is our territory! " USSR: "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

apology for poor english when were you when Austria-Hungary dies? i was sat at home eating wiener schnitzel when telegram ring ‘Austria-Hungary is kill’ ‘no’

Most excellent!! Maps, images and facts and all that in a chronologic order. Subscribed!

Parents: Why you crying so damn loud Me:

This is so sad Can we plan the 13th battle of the Isonzo River?

Btw fun fact, Czechoslovakian state, as we understand it in law university, mightve happened on 4-5 separate occasions, depending on who you ask. and our first president Masaryk, did not consider the date, we now celebrate as our national holiday of founding of Czechoslovakia as THE day.

5:02 Ok so I made a dumb mistake here, I sadly caught it too late to fix it. 28th of October after Czechs proclaimed their independence they also announced the formation of Czechoslovakia, it wasn't the 29th as stated in the video. The proclamation of Czechoslovakia was announced a day later in newspapers (like Pilsner Tagblatt, no.296, 29 October 1918) and so due to this I accidentally put the announcement of Czechoslovakia on the 29th even though it happened a day prior. After that it was the 29th of October that Slovaks meat in Martin with the intention of declaring independence and proclaiming unification with Czechia in to the state of Czechoslovakia which they did a day later on the 30th as I stated in the video. I feel particularly dumb about this mistake hence it gets its own comment.

Hungary to Austria: I will be independent! Austria: wait, you cant do this. Hungary: i can Minorities in Hungary: we will be independent! Hungary: o shit

Austria-Hungary: Implodes .... A-H Minorities: It's Free Real Estate!

One very important part you skipped however, is that the German republic of Austria had many claims on Slovene lands which led to rough fighting between Yugoslavia and Austria. Slovene general Rudolf Maister eventually managed to secure lower Styria along with Maribor and annexed it to yugoslavia. Yugoslavia also occupied most of Carinthia along with Klagenfurt, but that area was later given back to Austria after the Carinthian plebiscite in 1920.

“Do as you please” that hit hard

Mr. Kaiser, I don't feel so good...

6:33 if you translate Stjepan Radić to English it means Steve Jobs

you gotta be kidding me. 2 days ago i just passed an exam on Czech and Czechoslovakian law history. This had some information that could've improved my grade ffs XD

As I have commented seversl times before on your other videos. Thank you for your hard work and the effort you put in all your videos. You have a talent at sticking with facts and nicely packaging things together concisely. Thank you, I always look forward to whatever historical adventure you put together and explain.

I haven't watched a video so detailed with every nation in a while. Keep up the good work and thank you for such high quality video.

Really appreciate lighting of this short but very interesting and important time period and border changes in this time, great content, wait to see more.

Your videos are always great, but... damn, I’ve never seen something so confused made so clear. Fantastic job, man!

Thumbnail = after Thanos snapped. Austria-Hungary: "I Don't Feel So Good."

I love chaotic messes like this in history, thanks for bringing light to such an unknown time.

Such detail, very impressive! Good job, absolutely loved it!

Okay, I think this is the best video showing the mess that was happening at the end of the Great War in the Habsburg Empire. I knew it all was a mess but I didn't know it was *that* messy. Really great video and I'm looking forward to the next ones. Good job!

Thank you for such a thorough explanation of the breakup and transformation of Austria-Hungary. In history classes all of this was usually glossed over and you were suddenly shown a new map with new countries that seemed to have magically and harmoniously appeared overnight.

This was really fascinating. Thank You :)

Great video, very informative and concise. Also I love your maps/animations & voice over. Love from Serbia.

Really, a well done and necessary video, thanks for making it !

Very nice consolidation of a very confusing time for Central Europe. Your graphics are particularly helpful. Thank you. I am doing a little personal study of this, just because Central Europe between the two wars seemed like an interesting subject.

Definetely your best video yet. It goes very in-depth and I love you provided the dates!

Excellent overview of this mess. Thank you for this very informative video a pozdrav z Moravy 😉

Thank you for the effort you put into this

right ..... 1. i love how in all maps of Great Hungary is present the Adriatic cost :))))))))) 2. Is interesting how the 1 December when more than 100K representatives of Romanians from Transilvania and Banat gathered to Alba Julia/ Gyulafehérvár voted to unification with Romania. However you pointed out that this is a Austro-Hungarian centric perspective

Great work dude! Also a great timing for the 100th anniversary of Trianon.

Very good video. We always think of the Austrian part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Yet, the Hungarian part really suffered the greatest negative consequences of the break up. The Treaty of Trianon is still regarded as a national humiliation.

Extremely well done video about a fascinating time in history! 👍

Me: *scrolls through comments in search of insightful discussion about the topic presented in the video* Everyone else: *insert unfunny overused meme here*

Imperial Coffin Dance, with Czechoslovakia Poland Romania and Yugoslavia as the pallbearers.

Boom another history channel to binge. Love ya! keep spreading the word brother!

Excellent video. Thank you very much and congratulations

Great history lesson. Thanks!

About the name Polish Liquidation Committee: its English name is a bit misleading. Its original name meant exatly Poles (in this case: people of Poland) who formed a committee in order to liquidate (the Austro-Hungarian rule in the area)

very much like the maps/animations. made it very simple to follow all that info

Great job. Very informative

You work so hard why dont you have more subscribers :(

Remarquable explication sur les négociations très compliquées de 1918 qui restent douloureuses encore en 2020 pour notamment la Hongrie ....Bravo pour cette vidéo!

Brilliant! Such a crazy period of history.

Thank you for this excellent video on European history. Very informative.

Perfektné video !!!

to think all of this happened within the span of a couple of months is astounding

2:43 anyone else wish Hungary was able to keep the borders of Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen ? it just looks so much more aesthetically pleasing

So interesting and well done thanks

-Charles: I will no longer perform administrative duties -Congress: so you abdicate? -Charles: no, I'm still the Kaiser, but will not.. -Congress: It's a Republic! -Charles: wait, I didn't say.. -Congress: behold the new Republic! Awesome video and animation. Your content is extremely high quality, thanks :D

Awesome vidoe, its gonna get a lot of views for sure. The map and animations and text. Everything was so good. One common mistake though: Romania gained some territory from Bulgaria in 1912 (they lost it in ww2) but you show the current border between them.

*HUNGARIA-POLAND-CZECHIA-SLOVAKIA* Don't worry about the brothers from Hungary! Today we are much bigger and stronger we are V4 Vysegrad group! Our country has also shrunk in borders, but in reality we are much bigger! Greetings to the brothers from Hungary, Poland and Slovakia! I know that our history has not always been pretty, but despite all that, we have many more of those nice moments in history and we can build on them! I hope that Western Europe will one day be sensible and proud of itself and its history, and that it will learn from the mistakes of history, but when I see in the news how it destroys the Churchill statue, I want to cry!...

Love your videos

Thank you! It's an excellent piece of work. The only, and very minor, problem I found was that the First Hungarian Republic existed in 1848-49, so it was the second one being declared after the war.

I honestly enjoyed the video a ton and I appreciate all the work put into it. I just wanted to point out that in the final map Romania should have been shown to be in control of Southern Dobruja after the war, as that region was returned to the kingdom of Bulgaria after the Treaty of Craiova in 1940.

My Gott, The Editing Is So Cool!

treaty of versailes be like: germany: bro, i lost all of my colonies and got alot of sancti- austria hungary: *AAA-*

Allies dismantled one multi ethic choatic state and replaced it with another one that being Yugoslavia. Which was very disunited until Tito came to power.

There is a small detail that i was missing in the vide about the Villa Giusti Armistice. You mentioned that it went into effect a day later. This small mentioned part did cost a lot of lives, territory and made lots of soldiers to prisoners of war to italy: While negotiating, the Austrian delegation in italy was allowed to use telephone to ask back to vienna. Until they signed. After they signed, the italians cut the line, and added a few apendices! One of them was that the thing would take over 24 hours for the italian side to take effect. (They claimed it would take that long to reach the front line) During the negotiations this was never mentioned nor agreed upon. Both sides were talking about an armistice that takes effect immediately after signing. So the Austro-Hungarian side shortly after signing stopped fighting as they thought was agreed upon, while the italian side jumped on the opportunity to go into an offensive, capture soldiers and territory as much as possible during the 24 hours of time they had.

Awww I love the title and I m so happy she will never exist:)) From Romania! Love to Trianon!

Great videos!

Awesome video! Just a heads up, in the hungarian language (with very few exceptions) both the letter "j" and "ly" are pronounced like "y" in "yeah"

This is by far the most depressing video I've seen in a long time.

Great information about a confusing time

Subscribed! Such a well made video!

"Civitas Fortissima" (the bravest city) the city what picked up the weapons against the invaders. After 4 year of massacre and death , that city , Ballasagyarmat , for one last time went to battle.

Read this if you're interested in this topic: "An Undiplomatic Diary: By the American Member of the Inter-Allied Military Mission to Hungary, 1919-1920" . It's pretty hardcore.

A great deal of the nationalism that was stirred up in Austria-Hungary was caused by Hungarian hatred of Slovaks, Croats, Ruthenians, etc. Had Rudolf or Franz Ferdinand been able to implement their views of trialism (Rudolf's approach totally different from that of FF), the empire might have been able to continue as a sort of federated monarchy. The trade and advantages of a joint entity in that area can be seen in the trading and services pattern of the current EU countries in the area. Had a federated empire continued to exist than the rise of Hitler could have likely been thwarted. All interesting possibilities. WWII origins arose in the sparks set by the Allies at Versailles and Wilson's sellout to the European and commitment to the Hungarians.

Ottoman Empire: "There was no other way" *dissolves*

Thank you for covering this part of history, well done!

the Treaty of Trianon day is a free day in Romania for workers now (4th june) , to celebrate that day ,recent was a law gave by the current president in charge , Klaus Iohannis , a romanian citizen and ethnic german... this is quite ironic somehow :)

Well done. Thanks.

Holy cow, my head blew up trying to keep up with this......

This was great country imho because in my country they did more positive things like making buildings, water supplies, bringed civilisation, culture and art etc. I wish Monarchy survived a bit longer. Greetings from Bosnia

Charles: Guys it’s fine you can all go! *Cries a little*

Stable video👍

Amazing video! This is the content that I love this channel for.

It's the saddest thing I ever heard

I am hungarian studying history and you did a great researching job... I really liked it :)

Very accurate video, good job! Can I ask you how do you generate the borders on the map?

This man needs more subs

Top 10 Saddest Thumbnails of All Time...

Great maps and explanation. Greetings from an Austro-Hungarian descendant who lives in Mexico City. Nagy Magyarozág ¡¡¡¡¡¡ LONG LIVE HUNGARY.

Fantastic vid. Also, M. Laser is Slovakian living in Britain. Also Mihály Károlyi in English is pronounced Michael KAR uh lee. In Hungarian, the closest I can come is KAR uh lee MEE high (surname comes first).

I like, how chaotic and fast it was. With a little bit of sarcasm, it was funny as hell 😂
